This came in before the hearing was closed. Thank you From: jane ward [mailto:jward78@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, September 5, 2023 5:47 PM To: Karle, Darcy Subject: Park City Wind Hello Darcy: I would like to add my support to the Park City Wind project proposed for a cable to make landfall under Craigville Beach and continuing through the town of Centerville. This issue pertains to the Conservation Commission meeting agenda item for tonight's meeting: Park City Wind, LLC. Proposed installation of two 275-kV submarine electric transmission cables in Nantucket Sound, and onshore duct bank system at Craigville Beach and 2 Short Beach Road, Centerville as shown on Assessor ’s Map 206, Parcel 013 and Assessor ’s Map 206 Parcel 044. SE3-5992 Continued from August 8, 2023. I have attended several Avangrid meetings with the Centerville Civic Association as well as following the process of Vineyard Wind's arrival of electric cables in parallel with excavation for sewering neighborhoods in Centerville along Strawberry Hill Road and Phinney's lane. The disruption at Covell's Beach was minimal and the final result is a much more attractive parking lot and greatly improved road surface with no disruption of the beach, as the cables travel well below ground level. The Avangrid staff responded to concerns of Centerville residents along the historic district of Main St, and I felt offered reassurance that any damage to structures or trees would be compensated. The project will provide much needed clean,renewable energy to the Cape Cod power grid and also provides financial support for our Town of Barnstable Sewer expansion. The sewer expansion is a critical need to help restore the health of our groundwater and both fresh and salt water resources. I support approval of this next stage of permitting for Park City Wind.
